Effect of foliar application of manganese and ferrous on vegetative
Keywords:
Ferrous, foliar application, fruit yield, manganese, qualityAbstract
A field experiment was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Chittorgarh and Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur during 2016-2017. The results revealed that all treatments (except T1) significantly increased the vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality attributes. The maximum increase in shoot length (78.87 %), canopy area E-W (4.75%), canopy area N-S (4.27%), and tree height (9.49 %) recorded in treatment T, (1.0% MnSO, +1.0% FeSO1) over the treatment T,(control). The maximum fruit diameter (7.96 cm & 6.37 cm), fruit weight (170.13 g), fruit retention (69.74 %), yield plant' (78.23 kg) was recorded in treatment T, (1.0% MnSO4 +0.5 % FeSO) closely followed by treatment T, and minimum in treatment T,(control). The maximum TSS (10.93 °B), TSS:Acid (14.39), ascorbic acid content (27.08 mg/100 g), juice content (41.05 %), and minimum acidity (0.76 %) was recorded in treatment T, (1.0 % MnSO4 + 0.5 % FeSO) closely followed by treatment T, compare to control.
